This is tricky. If you decide to pursue it, be prepared for some lengthy paperwork. Also, expect that it will take from anywhere between 1 to 2 months.

1. You need to get your documents in order; a copy of your passport or driver's license, copy of the proof of death [death certificate] and a copy of a probate or court order that clearly identifies you as the legal representative of the deceased.

2. You will also need to take some prints of a few emails sent from the deceased to you [the full headers of the emails need to be included in the print].

3. Finally, write a letter [attach your passport photograph] explaining the situation, include the deceased person's email ID and all your contact information [including postal address, phone numbers and email IDs].

4. Take all the documents and ship them to Google at the following address:

Google Inc.
